Practical Example

Let’s say Emily works as an administrative assistant:

  • Hourly Wage: $22
  • Hours per Week: 40
  • Pay Frequency: Biweekly
  • Federal Tax: 18%
  • State Tax: 5%
  • Retirement Contribution: 3%

Step 1: Calculate Gross Pay

22×40×2=1,76022 \times 40 \times 2 = 1,76022×40×2=1,760

Gross pay for 2 weeks = $1,760

Step 2: Calculate Deductions

  • Federal Tax: 1,760 × 0.18 = 316.80
  • State Tax: 1,760 × 0.05 = 88
  • Retirement: 1,760 × 0.03 = 52.80

Total deductions = 316.80 + 88 + 52.80 = 457.60

Step 3: Calculate Net Pay

1,760–457.60=1,302.401,760 – 457.60 = 1,302.401,760–457.60=1,302.40

Net pay = $1,302.40

➡ Emily can expect to take home $1,302.40 every two weeks after deductions.
